Thursday, March 28 – MEDG: “Culinary Medicine and the Future of Nutrition Education” by Chef Nathan Wood, MD
The lack of nutrition education in medical school and residency is a structural contributor to diet-related disease in the patients we see in our practices. In this session, we will explore the culinary medicine approach—featuring a plant-forward diet—to teaching hands-on nutrition to both trainees and patients, with the goal being to improve health through evidence-based changes in dietary habits. We will discuss actionable steps that you can take to improve the health-promoting potential of your own dietary habits, illustrating how even small, simple changes can empower healthier living.
